This is a couple car review of the all-new 2022 Lexus NX450h+ plug-in hybrid. This PHEV has a 2.5L 4-cylinder with Lexus plug-in hybrid drive, an ECVT and 302 total system horsepower. The estimated EV range numbers are 58 km/36 miles but the official numbers will be released when our review drops 10/7 9:30 pm PST/12:30 am EST. The Toyota RAV4 Prime offers 68 km/ 42 miles of EV range, the best range available for a PHEV. The new NX is longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model but still not as big as the Acura RDX. In comparison, the RDX is over 3 inches longer, offers almost 2 inches more second row legroom, an extra 6.8 cubic feet behind the second row and 12 cubic feet more overall cargo capacity. The RDX also offers a flat floor in the second row which the NX does not have. Our test model in bright blue with a black & tan interior and black open-pore wood trim looks quite elegant. It has a 14” touchscreen, a 10” head up display leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel which is heated all the way through, power driver and passenger seats, driver seat memory, a 6.6 kWh charger which is standard in Canada, the US gets a standard 3.3 kWh charger and 20” wheels. There is no panoramic sunroof on our test model, it has a moonroof. Not sure at this time if a panoramic sunroof is available on the PHEV like the NX 350. Individual trims have not been made public yet; we’ll get those closer to the on-sale date this December. The exterior doesn’t look as angular as the outgoing model, it is more rounded, it has an enhanced spindle grille, 18” wheels with optional 20” wheels. The back end has slim LED taillights and a full light bar with the Lexus script. All NX models come with run flat tires now to save space in the cargo area, there is no longer a spare tire. Instead, you get under floor storage and for the Hybrid or PHEV, it’s where the battery is stored. There is an available hands free power liftgate. Standard LED headlights and LED taillights with optional triple beam headlights. Designers took a lightweight and compact approach reducing the overall gross weight of the NX 210 pounds.
